It seems everyone knows except DaN.

Notice how I managed to sneak my DA link in there cunningly?

 

[darklord]

ah the very rare, smooth skinned pigmy dragon, very short elevs ride these instead of the bigger ones

Since Bill will be along shortly I\'ll do a partial hijack and ask him if he knows spiders?

We have a new type around here last few years - looks a little like a Black Widow in form, but dark brown - I was wondering if maybe it was a recent introduction to Ireland or had just become more common with the milder weather.

And Dan, I\'m going to go with newt, since the skin doesn\'t look like a reptile\'s in the photos.

think its lizard
has bill been around latley? dont seem to have seen him or maybe i just didnt look hard enough

 

[Infidel Castro]

I\'m veering towards lizard. There seems to be a lack of webbling and newts/salamanders tend to have smaller heads. Cast your vote!

 

[Roger Bunting]

Bill was around earlier but I guess he didn\'t see the thread. I\'m really trying hard to resist answering the question. It could be a Nizard or a Lewt.

EDIT: Einion, does the spider look like this one?

Come on Nauks, buck your ideas up lad

 

[Roger Bunting]

Okay, I can\'t take it any longer. Bill\'s not answered so I will. It\'s a Common Newt.

Nope. Newts are amphibians. Lizards are reptiles.

And to Vike\'s question: All of the Above.

Right general shape but there are no markings that I\'ve noticed on the abdomen.

Edit: just did a quick search, looks like a type of False Widow, a Rabbit Hutch Spider.
